|
He looked funny |
|
The children called him the scarecrow |
|
An old raincoat |
|
And baggy trousers and sneakers |
|
he found at the dump |
|
Oh, but if you bothered to look |
|
There was something behind the rags |
|
Oh there was a look in his eyes |
|
It was something you'd never forget |
|
He lived badly |
|
A broken shack on the railway |
|
An old moggy |
|
The only one who replied |
|
When he talked to the walls |
|
Oh we didn't understand |
|
We were fooled by the dirt on his face |
|
Oh we were human then |
|
We were searching behind his disgrace |
|
Why don't you leave me alone |
|
Why don't you go to your homes |
|
Why don't you keep to yourselves |
|
I'm tellin you |
|
Why don't you leave me alone |
|
You're never gonna realise |
|
When all you do is criticise |
|
You're never gonna make it work |
|
You never seem to get enough |
|
You crumble when its getting rough |
|
You're never gonna make it work |
|
I'm tellin' you there'll come a day |
|
You're gonna blow yourselves away |
|
It's wrong that I should interfere |
|
I just get in the way |
|
Why don't you leave me alone |
|
Why don't you go to your homes |
|
Why don't you keep to yourselves |
|
I'm tellin you |
|
Why don't you leave me alone |
|
Deep into the night |
|
He was working by the light |
|
of the candle by his bed |
|
on the theory in his head |
|
He was building from the junk |
|
that he rescued from the dump |
|
And when he turned the power on |
|
There was a sound and he was gone |
|
Oh in the gray of the dawn |
|
We discovered the thing he was working on |
|
Oh we didn't understand |
|
The future was Old Mister Time |
|
Future was Old Mister Time |
|
Future was Old Mister Time |
|
Future was Old Mister Time |
|
Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time....) |
|
Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time....) |
|
Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time....) |
